About Swastik Roy

With great intelligence comes great responsibility—especially when it’s artificial!”I lead efforts on pushing the boundaries of large language models (LLMs) and building the infrastructure that keeps research moving fast and deployment smooth. Think of me as part engineer, part researcher, and part AI-whisperer—combining cutting-edge tech with practical solutions to keep things running like a well-oiled machine. My work spans interpretability (making sure AI decisions aren’t just magic), alignment (because rogue AIs are a bad look), and distributed training (because big brains need big hardware). I have a passion for making AI interpretable and understandable—because knowing how and why models make decisions is essential to building trust and ensuring safety.On any given day, you’ll find me exploring the latest research, implementing new ideas as well as recent breakthroughs, building tools to streamline experimentation, or collaborating with fellow scientists to turn wild ideas to life. I also enjoy mentoring others as they navigate the wonderful chaos of AI development. When I’m not buried in code or analyzing the latest research paper, I’m working to ensure these models are not just smart but also safe, reliable, and aligned with what we actually want them to do.With experience across distributed systems, multi-modal architectures, and full-stack development, I contribute to both strategy and hands-on work. I thrive at the intersection of research and engineering, delivering scalable solutions that make a real impact while staying aligned with the mission to improve customer experiences (and maybe, just maybe, help save the world along the way).
